SEASIDE AIR

These guys have been around a while, in fact they could even be considered as prog dinosaures if you get interested in their discography. With this latest album they really show how well they can write excellent music. I'm talking about music as in "songs and melodies" that you remember. Don't get me wrong. This isn't pop. This is beautiful progressive symphonic rock with guitar driven songs. No hard rock here, but instead we get a distinct Beatles feeling in the songs. Did I mention the mellotron? Simply gorgeous. Nothing intrically complex but quite the opposite : simple and effective progressive rock that finds its roots in the blues. Listen to this and you'll remember what progressive rock is all about. It feels like falling in love after 40 years of marriage with music!
